“Truly, you’ve gone beyond all bounds,” Wen Nuan sighed with exasperation.
Jiang Ling’er was good in everyway, but she was too reckless.
Savoring a sip of coffee, Jiang Ling’er confidently stated, “Fear not, for I know exactly what needs to be done.”
Helplessly, Wen Nuan responded, “It’s a relief that you know what you’re doing. Anyway, according to the news online, the results will be announced tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, you mustn’t forget to check the results.” “Why, Little Nuan, do you always assume the role of a parent?” Jiang Ling’er asked with a hint of teasing.
Wen Nuan found herself at a loss for words. She uttered, “It’s simply because I care for you.”
Jiang Ling’er remained silent, opting instead to take another sip of her coffee.
Frowning, Wen Nuan reiterated, “Didn’t you hear what 1 said? Don’t forget to check out the results.”
“Alright, we’ll check it out together tomorrow,” Jiang Ling’er acquiesced.
Instantly, Wen Nuan felt the utmost satisfaction and happiness. This was more like it.
The following morning, when Jiang Ling’er received Wen Nuan’s call, Wen Nuan was already standing at her doorstep.
Without delay, Jiang Ling’er finished her milk, bid Old Master Jiang goodbye, and hastily grabbed her bag.
Upon stepping outside, she spotted a sports car not far away—unassuming yet discernible.
Before long, the car door swung open, revealing Wen Nuan seated in the back. “Ling’er, here,” she declared.
Jiang Ling’er approached with a smile and climbed into the car. “Miss Wen, you’ve personally come to pick me up. Such an honor, I can hardly accept!” she exclaimed.
Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at Jiang Ling’er and retorted, “Don’t be so talkative. This is my seventh brother, Wen Rui.”
Wen Rui, the driver, turned around and extended his hand with a smile.
Jiang Ling’er politely reciprocated the handshake and said, “Hello, Seventh Young Master Wen. If you don’t mind, you can call me Ling’er, just like Little Nuan does.”
Wen Nuan proudly interjected, “Seventh Young Master Wen? Call me Seventh Brother.”
Jiang Ling’er was rendered speechless.
Jiang Ling’er stood stunned, feeling a sense of impropriety.
“Why? Am I not worthy?” Wen Rui inquired, a smile adorning his face.
Jiang Ling’er smiled. Since he had insisted, Jiang Ling’er was not one to shy away. She directly proclaimed, “Seventh Brother!”
“Good girl!” Wen Rui nodded approvingly.
Wen Rui felt exceedingly content, a fond smile gracing his features. The people that Little Nuan had high hopes for were indeed obedient and sensible, and it wasn’t difficult to get along with them.
Jiang Ling’er didn’t know what Wen Rui was thinking. He seemed to dote on her like a person doting on his dog. If she weren’t Xiao Nuan’s friend, Wen Rui might have regarded her differently. Why did he affectionately claim that Jiang Ling’er was obedient?
Wen Rui initiated the engine, and the car began to move.
Jiang Ling’er noticed a laptop bag beside Wen Nuan, prompting her curiosity. She couldn’t help but ask, “Little Nuan, why do you have a laptop with you?” “You’re not that daft, are you?” Wen Nuan replied. “It’s time to check your scores.”
Hearing that, Jiang Ling’er slapped her forehead. She really didn’t know who was the fool. “Little Nuan, we can have checked it on our phones, you know?” she pointed out.
Wen Nuan felt slightly embarrassed and confessed, “I’m too nervous. 1 forgot 1 could use my phone. But truth be told, I’m more anxious now than I was during the college entrance exam. Ling’er, how many points do you think you’ll get?” She refrained from saying more, but mathematics happened to be Jiang Ling’er’s strong suit. Moreover, the test paper wasn’t challenging for her. Confidently, Jiang Ling’er asserted, “I can’t say the exact score, but it will definitely surpass Yue Ling’s by several levels. Let’s leave the computer here; it’s too cumbersome. We’ll use our phones instead.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead. Seventh Brother can take the computer back,” Wen Nuan agreed.
Wen Nuan anxiously awaited the stroke of nine o’clock.
She retrieved her phone and immediately began searching.
Finding the school’s webpage, she discovered that 108 students from her school had participated in the competition. This time, only 26 individuals passed the examination, with Jiang Ling’er emerging as the overall first place!
Excitedly, Wen Nuan passed her phone to Jiang Ling’er, exclaiming, “Oh my gosh, tell me quickly. 1 didn’t see it incorrectly, did I?”
Jiang Ling’er glanced at her phone. The outcome was expected. Calmly, she confirmed, “Nope, you didn’t misread it.”
For Jiang Ling’er, achieving a perfect score in Mathematics was without a doubt.
Wen Nuan rubbed her eyes and gazed at the phone, overcome with excitement. “Ling’er, first place, and a perfect score! How utterly amazing you are!”
“I assured you 1 wouldn’t disappoint,” Jiang Ling’er replied with a smile.
Wen Nuan couldn’t contain her excitement and her voice. Nearby students and even the teacher approached.
When the students around Wen Nuan glimpsed the results on her phone, they were astounded and began discussing.
“Jiang Ling’er got a perfect score? Was the test too easy?”
“Are you blind? Out of 108 students, only 26 passed.”
“Goodness, so many science students lagged behind this time.”
“Didn’t you say Jiang Ling’er bought her way into this school? Was it all a lie? I’m confused now. What’s the truth?”
“This is truly unexpected. A perfect score.. How much DHA did she consume?”
